EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - "The French Occupation of Tunis". Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this engraving showcases the British Consul General and various key figures during this monumental event. Intriguingly, the image depicts military personnel from both sides, including H. M. S Monarch, as well as members of royalty such as the Bey and his Prime Minister. The presence of Captain Tryon and Commander Egerton suggests their involvement in negotiations or strategic discussions. Politicians are also seen engaging with an interpreter, highlighting the importance of effective communication during this critical period. The atmosphere seems charged with anticipation as Tunisians await an audience with their royal highnesses. This historic encounter between nations is beautifully captured through intricate details and skilled craftsmanship. It offers viewers a glimpse into a time when political alliances were forged and territories reshaped. Displayed within a private collection, this print serves as a reminder of past struggles for power and influence while honoring those who played pivotal roles during the French occupation of Tunis. Its inclusion in The Graphic on May 28th, 1881 further emphasizes its significance to contemporary audiences seeking insight into historical events that shaped our world today.
